The Saint canon consists of 19 novels, 48 novellas, and 95 short stories chronicled by Leslie Charteris and his collaborators, and collected in 50 books published from 1928 to 1983. The first 36 of these were written by Charteris alone, while the remaining 14 (some adapted from television episodes) were penned by other authors with Charteris providing suggestions and general oversight.
